Next Season

oh my god....leaf fans, we don't want 32 yr old Järnkrok. He does NOTHING for us.

The team is a placeholder. Chill bro. Could be any team.

NSH says swap Minten for Cowan and then NSH will start negotiating the deal. NSH has players of Minten's caliber in system, so their is no reason for NSH to trade their franchise goalie for a player they effectively already have in system. They need someone who will project as a top 6 center. NSH isn't going to move Saros for less, as said by Trotz.

My question is, what team is giving up a 3rd rounder for Calle Jarnkrok at 2x$2.1M when they could just as easily save the pick and spend about the same amount of cap space on a similar UFA forward this summer? Guys like Stefan Noesen, Teddy Blueger, Kiefer Sherwood, & Jordan Martinook are all UFAs this summer, are all younger than Calle, and all profile similarly as bottom-6 forwards who can defend and score 35ish points in a season. You could just as easily throw 2x$2M at any of those guys and likely bring them on board with no acquisition cost.

Saros only has 1yr left before he’s UFA. I don’t see him re-signing in NSH, especially with Askari’s knocking on the door. This is a pretty good deal for 1yr of a goalie & no retention.
